Bruins Nation

Update: 9:54 PM The Bruins lost pretty badly 6-3. I'll sumarize the game sometime soon. Let's just say, Claude Julien is very upset at the effort some of his skaters gave him. Tim Thomas, who playhed hard but was a bit off, will probably see the bench Tuesday against Carolina. The Bruins played great the first half, and then fell apart the second half.

The Boston Bruins will take on the Florida Panthers at TD Banknorth Garden tonight at 7:00. The Bruins are offering buy one get one free Loge seats. The code word is FLIGHT. Leave early if you're going to the game. Snow will always add time to your trip whether you go by car or by the T.

Tim Thomas will most likely start in net today. Alex Auld was great yesterday though, so it would not surprise me if Claude Julien gave the nod to Auld. Schaefer and Bobby Allen will remain out of the lineup. The two are day-to-day. My guess at the lines:

Sturm-Savard-Kessel
Lucic-Metropolit-Kobasew
Axelsson-Krejci-Murray
Nokelainen-Sobotka-Thornton

Chara-Wideman
Ference-Ward
Stuart-Hnidy

Thomas

This should be an easy win for the Bruins, so long as they play hard and play as they usually do. Go Bruins!
